Cantera began to study at an aesthetics school seven years ago but had to drop out to help with some family issues at home in Peru, South America. When she returned a month later, she had to get back online for a spot in the school\u2019s aesthetics program.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, she was able to obtain a license for body waxing and get a job at a Saratoga salon doing waxing.<\/p>\n<p>She saved money and eventually was able to return to school and work toward obtaining her skin care license.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>During that time, as she drove to work each day, she passed a coin shop that also sold jewelry. One day, she stopped in, largely to see the jewelry. The store was small but she really liked it.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlmost by chance,\u201d she recalled, the store became available for rent. Cantera was still four months short of completing school. She was slowly accumulating tools and equipment for a future shop. Then she had another look at the then-vacant store.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span class=\"s1\"><span class=\"s2\"><!--more--><\/span><\/span><\/b>\u201cI saw it was perfect,\u201d she said, and she and the owner agreed to a lease.<\/p>\n<p>There followed four months of working all day, attending school after work, and returning to Saratoga after school to clean, fix and paint her future shop, all the time trying to be a good mom to her teenage son and look after their three dogs.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>She continues to live in Niskayuna, where her son, now 15, is in high school. She said that she loves Saratoga, especially for its friendly and helpful people, but doesn\u2019t want to uproot him by moving.<\/p>\n<p>The Sapphire Boutique offers skin care, including oxygen facials and hydrofacials. She said that she tries to offer her clients a variety of options. She also continues to do body waxing and<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>several of her former waxing clients have followed her to the new location.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>She also sells lingerie, purses and a small amount of jewelry.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>very happy,\u201d she said, \u201cI know it will take time to build the business.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The boutique is open Monday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Tuesday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.; and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. It is closed on Sunday,<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The telephone number is 518 430-2031.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Jill Nagy \u201cMy dream was always to have a business of my own and to do skin care,\u201d said Jhoanna Cantera, who saw that dream come true with the opening of Cantera\u2019s Sapphire Boutique at 219 Broadway in Saratoga Springs.\u00a0 The new business is the result of several years of hard work and some [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":89,"featured_media":37776,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-37775","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.4 -
